Foundations #8: What I've Learned From Women With More Money Than Peace
Wealth B-Hers
Some women reach the number they thought would make them feel safe and still feel anxious, vigilant, exhausted, or like there will never be enough. The problem is not that something went wrong. Sometimes, it is that everything went right, but the stories beneath the money never changed. In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe shares what she has learned from women who have more money than peace. Wealth can fund a different life, but it cannot rewrite fear, guilt of a scarcity mindset.

Foundations #7: Purpose Before Portfolio
Wealth B-Hers
Before you invest a dollar, there’s one question that matters more than the return, the structure, or the opportunity itself: What do you want this money to do for you? Not what did someone else earn. Not how much can this grow. What is this money meant to create in your life? In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe explains why investing without purpose can leave you wealthy on paper but misaligned in reality. Money is a tool, and tools only make sense when you know what you are building. When your purpose is clear, the question changes from “Is this a good deal?” to “Does this move me...

Boring Money, The Steady Kind with Fred Moskowitz

Foundations #6: Why Avoiding Money Decisions is More Common than You Think
Wealth B-Hers
There is a quiet kind of money stress many of us carry: the bank statement we don’t open. The investment decision we delay. The financial advisor appointment we don’t make. It looks like procrastination, but often it is something deeper. Money decisions can be emotional, feel risky, unfamiliar, and very high-stakes. In this episode, Dr. Felecia Froe lets you know it’s not just you. Avoiding money decisions is more common than you think. Avoidance does not mean you are irresponsible or bad with money. It often means you do not feel clear, informed, or supported enough to move forward....

info_outlineWhat if the money in your account is not the same thing as real wealth?
That’s where this conversation starts. Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Paul Musson, former professional investor, founder of the Paulitical Economy blog, and author of Capital Offence: Why Some Benefit at Your Expense. After decades inside the investment world, Paul began studying economics more deeply after seeing how the housing bubble, the financial crisis, and policy decisions reshaped the relationship between money, capital, and everyday people’s ability to build wealth.
They talk about the difference between money and capital, how inflation quietly erodes purchasing power, and why rising asset prices do not always mean real wealth is being created. Dr. Felecia asks the practical questions many listeners may be wondering: What does it mean when money is “devalued”? Why does a Treasury investment look safe but still lose purchasing power? Does lowering interest rates really make housing more affordable? And what does building capital look like for people who are working, saving, investing, and trying to create options? This conversation is about understanding the economy in plain language so women can ask better questions, protect their future, and build wealth that is actually real.
